Bushy 5- to 7-foot plants are easy to grow and very floriferous!
Joe-Pye Weed blooms the first year if the seed is sown early enough and will naturalize freely to increase its glorious show year after year. It is superb for mixed beds and even borders, but you may want to plant it in a setting where it can spread. The cut flowers are excellent in the vase, too.
Asking only full sun and normally to poorly fertile soil, Eupatorium grows easily and flourishes in most settings. Expect this well-branched, striking plant to reach 2 to 4 feet wide. Trouble-free beauty from an American native.
